In case you didn’t know, there has been a much exploited rumor in the past week about an alleged director’s cut for The Dark Knight Rises that would include 30 additional minutes of footage that was cut from the film. Today it has been confirmed that not only are there no plans for a director’s cut release of the film, a director’s cut doesn’t even exist.

The Playlist got word from Christopher Nolan’s reps about the situation, saying, “insiders close to the director confirmed to us yesterday that no such plans exist, and reports of an extended cut of the film are completely false.”

There you have it, it’s done. Stay tuned here for details about the actual home video release.
